ELLE reminding us re: the opioid epidemic that it's personal

There’s knowing — on an intellectual level — that the national opioid crisis is vast and sprawling and hits close to home for almost all of us, and then there’s the actual experience of clicking open the first installment of ELLE’s series, America Unraveling: How Women Are Surviving the Opioid Crisis and realizing it’s about our literal hometown. Consider it just one way this series, reported out by staff writer Madison Feller, gets preternaturally personal, and watch that space closely.

(Oh, and we don’t wanna hear ANYONE out there being like oH eLLe dOeS hArD nEwS nOw like ugh catch up won’t you???)
